✔️ Wood or house coal: at least twice a year
✔️ Smokeless fuel: at least once a year
✔️ Stove not used for months: sweep before the first fire
✔️ Lined chimney: still needs sweeping
The best time is just before you start lighting fires again, so about now. The Good Sweep, Bury St Edmunds. WhatsApp us your postcode.

Four signs your chimney needs sweeping soon (from HETAS):
✔️ Smoke comes back into the room
✔️ A bad smell when no fire is lit
✔️ Soot falling back into the grate
✔️ Birds on the pot, or scratching inside
If you notice any of these, stop using it and get it swept before you light it again. The Good Sweep, Bury St Edmunds. WhatsApp us your postcode.

If a log hisses when it goes on, it's usually wet. Wet wood leaves more soot and tar in your flue, so it needs sweeping more often.
✔️ Dry logs are under 20% moisture
✔️ Look for the Ready to Burn mark
✔️ A cheap moisture meter tells you in seconds
Not sure how often yours needs doing? Ask us on WhatsApp. The Good Sweep, Bury St Edmunds.

Moved into a house with a stove? Don't light it yet.

You don't know when it was last swept, what's nesting up there, or whether the liner's sound. One sweep answers all three and you get the certificate your insurer asks for.

Bury St Edmunds and around. From £75.

Birds build in spring. You find out in October, when the smoke comes back into the room instead of going up.

A nest won't clear itself, and a blocked flue pushes smoke and fumes back inside. Worth checking before the first fire.

DEATH TRAP! They bought the house, the stove came with it, and nobody had ever looked at the flue. One fire and the room filled with smoke.

Flexible ducting through a timber wall. It should never have been fitted.

If yours came with the house, get it checked before you light it.
